Paul Says Romney Should Release Tax Returns

Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) said that Mitt Romney should release more of his tax returns, adding to the pressure on the GOP nominee to share personal financial information, Politico reports.

Said Paul: “Politically, I think that would help him. In the scheme of things politically, you know, it looks like releasing tax returns is what the people want.”

The Fix: “The truth — in politics and in life — is almost always less damaging
than what the imagination can conjure. While the tax return debate is a
no-win for Romney, he’d be better to lance this political boil once and
for all. It’s not going away and if he doesn’t it’s only likely to
grow.”
